초록
This study is to examine prosody effects on Korean students’ production and perception in word-medial bilabial stop voicing. Subjects were English native speakers, English-learning Korean university students with residence experience in America, and English-learning Korean university students without residence experience. All 28 subjects participated in production and perception tests. Results showed that L2 patterns of Korean students’ production and perception with residence experience in America were in between the English native speakers and Korean students without residence experience. In the production tests, we noticed somewhat different results in trochaic and iambic environments. The one-year residence in America had some influence on both the temporal and fundamental frequency features, but not on the formant features. The acoustic difference could be seen in the perception tests. We could not find any difference in the identification test of the word-medial iambic environment between two Korean groups. Rather the difference could be found in the cue influence test in the trochaic environment. (MIT)
